Garmin nuvi 770 review

The Garmin nuvi 770, with pre-loaded maps of North America and Europe, is one of the nicest of Garmin's transatlantic navigators. As a member of the 700 series, it incorporates a number of features not found on the transatlantic nuvi 670:

Multi-destination routing

Automatic sorting of multiple destinations to provide an efficient route

Tracklog recording

Speed limit display for many interstates and highways

The newer internal antenna found on the nuvi 200 series

Automatic marking of your last position when the unit is turned off (to help you find your car in mega-mall parking lots)

A "Where am I" safety feature that gives your current location,
nearest address, nearest intersection, along with quick access to POIs
for the nearest hospitals, police stations and gas stations

The ever-expanding nuvi line can be quite confusing. Check out our Garmin nuvi comparison chart for help determining which model best suits your needs. The chart includes info on all the other transatlantic models, including the nuvi 270 and nuvi 370.

Find the low price on a Garmin nuvi 770 at GPS Now, where shipping is free on orders over $99 (and the upgrade to overnight shipping is dirt cheap!). Order by 5 p.m. Central Time for same day shipment.

The 880 is due sometime in the next couple of months. TigerGPS is saying late May. Unlike the nuvi 770, it will include voice recognition, but I don't think it will include the 770's maps of Europe. List price is $1071, discounts unknown at this time. If they choose to carry it, GPSNow.com often has the best price when new models first come out.

I have a brand new garmin nuvi 350 bought a week ago lost the receit so I want to sell but I am not sure what the cheapest price in sotre is so I can sell it at a reasonable price is still in bow never used I dont really need it. so what do you think would be a reasonable price to sell it for..

Hi,
I am trying to decide between the nuvi 770 and the 775t. Is the lane assist and new satellite fixing and routing worth the extra money for the 775t?
I think that traffic would be nice but it's not as important to me. The 770 is appealing because it is about $300 less and has a longer battery life.
I'm going to primarily use this for traveling, including trips to europe, I know my way around my city pretty well.
What are your thoughts?
thanks, Jess
